broadheads tuning
 

When shooting my broadheads I have to resight my bow, my broadheads hit low, so I sighted them for broadheads now my feild points hit high...Is this normal? I am only shooting broadheads right now, and have it tuned pretty good...So I dont want to practice with feild tips ,only broadheads till season is over.Some one told me they should hit the same, I use fixed broadheads 85 grain, feld point same grain...I pull about 50lb, and my draw is 24 1/2 ..any info would help...

hows the left and right?

Left to right is fine.....Im ok with resighting in for broadheads, People say I shoouldnt have to...But I do and always have, except, when I shot rage...I am shooting fixed now...:pcwhack:

if you tune your arrows it should be better,,by that i mean match your broadhead to your feathers,,if the vanes cut through the same air as the braod head it will fly better.alot of bow shooters overlook this...one way is to heat the inserts that braodheads are in and turn them to match by laying them on a flat surface.if you shoot three blade use three vanes and so on,,it will help but they still will be off alittle bit at distance..20 plus yards.good luck and good hunting

wow that arrow tuneing site is fantastic

I know some folks think otherwise, but I think more are of the opinion that lining up vanes with BH blades makes absolutely no difference.

Assuming things like rest contact, arrow spine, vane clearance etc., are all good, the poster should lower the knocking point, or raise the rest, very slightly. Once FPs and BHs hit together, it may be necessary to re-sight.

Sorry to tell you but this makes no difference at all.

i personally even line up my mechanicals, idk about you guys but it usually puts the fixed blades in the ball park atleast, if im turkey or small game hunting

In my opinion, paper tuning your bow and spin testing your arrows are two key tuning techniques for getting a fixed broadhead to fly like a field tip. I do like to line up the blades to vanes but I agree with those above, it has no effect. In addition FOC can effect your flight but you should see poor arrow flight using your field tips as well but not always. If you have paper tuned your bow, spin tested your arrows and you have the same results (which I don't think will happen) start field testing heavier grain or lighter grain broadheads.

You might have someone check out your shooting form. My problem this year with BH flight turned out to be improper grip pressure. Just be sure you talk to someone who knows what they are talking about such as a certified instructor.

Totally agree with you on that. A broadheads flight is affected a lot easier than a field tip from an improper form. A proper form will indeed improve accuracy.

several fixed blade heads drop a few inches compared to a field point of the same weight. now that i shoot rage heads they fly identical. i know nothing was said about finding another broadhead but im just saying! :)

Thats because your bow is out of tune.....

I used to have the same problem with my fixed blade broadheads...i switched to a mechanical blade last year and you cant tell the difference in flight between the broadhead and a fieldpoint

Again, because either your bow, the arrow, your grip, or one of or all of the above is out of tune..If a fixed balde broadhead of the same weight as your practice field points don't impact very nearly the same, then something is out of whack and by simply switching to a mech. head is only putting a bandaid on a problem, not to mention the fact that is your arrow aren't flying true, they also will not penetrate as well as an arrow flying true..you guys need to learn how to find and fix the problem instead of taking the easy way out..
